lord almighty that’s insane. yeah i’m so glad i’ve never come across that before!

yeah, i get that worry. there’s a lot of great stuff for all ages on youtube but lately the ads feel increasingly active and punishing.

ah amazing - good on you and well done!

much respect - that’s the deal. treat them no less than you would treat royalty 😂

I used to be anti-paw patrol but I’ve softened on that over time. It’s a bit soulless, but it’s not too bad. my daughter loves the catchphrases and frankly, the repetitiveness is part of the fun for her.

Show that I have loved:

super simple songs - aimed at cocomelon-age but it’s got a very high quality production, really lovely varying different video styles, much better music and songs, and in general much better everything. would recommend it over cocomelon any day.

mr men - there’s a ‘newer’ version of the show which is really quite good

pink panther - the old shows hold up surprisingly well but there’s a set of newer cartoons that are great fun too

spidey and amazing friends - my daughter is now the biggest spiderman fan because of it and i’ve found she also enjoys watching clips from the MCU/spiderverse films with me because of it. 10/10 recommended.

om nom & stories - bit weird how i remember this as the ‘cut the rope game character’ but as far as animation goes it’s really high quality.

super wings - relaly high quality animated show. like absurdly well rendered and exciting.

airport diaries - as an adult, it’s a bit odd. the stories are like half-formed and the animation and everything a bit janky. but my daughter is obsessed by talking planes at an airport so she loves it and i guess that’s what matters.

i’m sure there’s more but that’s a solid list.

I’ve always wanted to carry around a spare change of clothes for myself just in case I get someone else’s pee on them :D
